6. Attach the other end of the high pressure hose to high pressure outlet (“A” on
diagram below) on pump. Pull down on collar of quick-connect, slide onto pump and
let go of collar. Note that some pumps require the hose to be threaded on. Tug on the
hose to ensure connection is secure.
7. Turn water supply on if you have not already done so. Point the gun in a safe direction
and squeeze the trigger to purge the pump of air and debris. Do this until water flow is
no longer erratic. Continue to hold trigger of gun down while starting the machine to
ensure there is no pressure build-up.
8. Take a final look at all connections to make sure there are no leaks or loose
connections. If there are any leaks in hoses, they must be replaced.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT siphon standing water for the water supply.
*Pump Uses SAE30 Non-Detergent Mineral Oil

10. To start the machine, locate the electric ignition switch on the right side of the
engine. Insert the key and turn it to the “ON” position” until the unit starts. Do not hold
the switch to the “ON” position for more than 5 seconds as this can cause damage to
the engine. Check to ensure fuel valve is in the ON position and if starting cold, move the
choke lever to the “CLOSED” position. Reference the component diagram below for the
location of these parts.
11. If desired, the unit can also be started via the recoil starter. Ensure the fuel valve is
open and the choke is applied. Then, pull on the cord until resistance is felt, and then pull
the cord briskly. Return the cord to the engine by hand. Do not let it snap back against
the machine. Once the unit is running, it is now operating as a cold water machine.
Regardless of the starting method, remember to gradually move the choke lever back
to the “open” position once the engine is running.
*Engine Uses SAE 10W30 Oil
HOT WATER OPERATION & DETERGENT
Now that the unit is running, it is operating as a cold water pressure washer.
When you wish to switch to hot water, turn the burner switch to the “ON” position.
WARNING
The temperature of the water can become extremely hot during operation.
Use caution when operating the spray gun.
NOTICE
Upon initial start-up, water will begin heating up in approximately 20 seconds. It
will reach maximum temperature within 2-1/2 minutes providing that the trigger is
continuously pressed down. The burner will not fire when the trigger is released.
1. Prepare detergent solution according to label directions. Never pump acids, alkaline,
abrasive fluids or solvents through the unit. Due to the unknown and often corrosive
characteristics of many detergents commonly used in the pressure washer cleaning
industry, it is recommended to use only mild detergents with this unit.
2. Fully immerse the detergent strainer into the detergent solution.
3. To apply solution, install the black soaper nozzle to the tip of the spray gun, unlock
the gun, and squeeze the trigger. After a few moments, a detergent/water mixture
will exit the nozzle. Start spraying the lower portion of the surface being cleaned and
move up, using long overlapping strokes. Applying from the bottom up helps avoid
streaking. Allow everything to soak briefly.
Avoid working on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight to minimize the chances of the
detergent drying, which may result in damaged surfaces. Be certain to rinse a small
section at a time.
4. To rinse, lock the trigger gun in the “OFF” position. From here, securely place the
white or green spray tip in the end of the spray gun. Unlock the trigger and spray.
It will take about 30 seconds to purge all detergent from the line. For best rinsing
results, start at the top and work down.
5. Siphon a gallon of water through the low pressure detergent injection system after
each use. This prevents the possibility of corrosion or detergent residue causing
mechanical problems during the next use.
APPLYING DETERGENT
NOTICE
This feature is designed for use with mild detergents only. Since the cleaning solution travels through
the heat exchanger coil, DO NOT use corrosives as they will cause extensive damage as well as pose a
considerable safety hazard.
